Arguing that the President is immune from suit, Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC has filed an application asking the High Court to exclude President Irfaan Ali who has been listed as a respondent in the action brought by the Police Service Commission (PSC) regarding the annual promotion of police officers.
In his notice of application to strike out Ali’s name, Nandlall argues that the inclusion of the President contravenes Article 182 of the Constitution as well as Section 10 of the State Liability and Proceedings Act (SL&PA).
In its action against Police Commissioner (ag) Nigel Hoppie over his continued refusal to effect the promotions announced last month, the PSC lists Ali among a number of other persons, as respondents.
